Chapter 54: Escape

  In such an environment, one has to shout extremely loudly in order to be heard. Mo Zi Chen yelled from behind Ren Xin's back: "You've come to this stone cave, do you know its origin?"

  Ren Geng Xin shook his head, "I've only heard them say that this is an ancient treasure trove, but no one knows the entrance. The one surnamed Luo said that after he refines the demon pill, he'll go underground to search for treasure."

  Mo Zichen thought of the huge ghost face he had seen before, which almost covered the entire mountain wall. This must be where the demon cultivator had stayed in the past, but where was the formal entrance? The demon path might not have figured it out yet. Mo Zichen and Ji Youfei wandered around, just circling around the outside, without touching the core.

  And what role did Jingtan Zong play in these changes? Was the appearance of Luosuyu a deliberate act or something they were unaware of?

  She had been living in the palace for a long time, and she had seen many things about human infighting, intrigue, and conspiracy. She couldn't help but think more about it. Just as she was thinking randomly, Ren Gengxin suddenly reached out and pulled her, "Be careful!"

  The two of them simultaneously drew back, and with a loud crash, a boulder the size of a millstone fell from above, almost crushing her beneath it.

  "What should we do?"

  This boulder is enormous and has completely blocked the road ahead. The surrounding area is all cliffs, with no other roads to pass through.

  Ren Gengxin's face turned solemn: "Keep your voice down, it seems like someone is coming!"

  Mo Zi Chen's face suddenly turned red, she was after all a disciple who had entered the immortal sect, and now her vigilance seemed to be no better than that of an ordinary person.

  She concentrated her mind and listened carefully, and indeed heard faint footsteps in the distance. Her heart skipped a beat as she said, "This mountain belly may have another mystery, let's hide first!" After saying that, she pulled Ren Gengxin and hid behind a large stone, concealed by the protruding rocks.

  They had just hidden when they heard the sound of grinding and crunching on the stone wall. The originally intact stone wall suddenly opened up a hole, and a figure emerged from inside. It was Lu Peng. At this time, his expression was flustered, and he hastily turned to leave.

  Ren Gengxin was also somewhat surprised, he didn't expect that there would be another mechanism here, and he didn't know about it.

  Mo Zi Chen bit his ear and said: "He should have gone back to search for something, there must be some changes ahead!"

  The two of them were only a few zhang away from Lu Peng, but Lu Peng was preoccupied with his thoughts and didn't notice their presence at all.

  He didn't stop at all after leaving Ren Gengxin, and rushed to the front mountain. He wanted to go before Luo Suiyou's face and frame Ren Gengxin, in order to eliminate future troubles. However, when he arrived, Luo Suiyou did not respond to his request, but instead put this matter on hold, saying that it would be discussed again after a few days. The treasure hunt was also not acted upon immediately.

  Lu Peng still didn't know that Luo Su had been injured while fighting against Ji Youfei and others, and needed to rest and recover. Just as he was about to speak up, Luo Su's expression suddenly changed, and he hastily left the ancient temple, went down the hidden passage, and told Lu Peng to return to the cave to pack his things.

  Lu Peng left a heart's eye and didn't go back immediately, but hid in the back cave to observe the situation. He saw several sword lights flying from afar, with an unstoppable momentum, sweeping away the ancient temple above in an instant. Lu Peng was greatly shocked in his heart, knowing that a formidable figure had arrived. Looking at the sword energy, it might be the orthodox school of Xuanmen.

  He knew about Luo Su's fight with someone last night. At first, when he entered the realm of cultivation, he thought Luo Su was one of the top masters in the world. However, seeing the sword light approaching and the loud noise, Luo Su hid and didn't dare to make a sound. The image of him as a great master collapsed instantly. He was originally a cold-blooded person, after a brief consideration, he decided to go back and pack his things first, if something went wrong, he would abandon him and escape.

  They came to this cave, and it was only two days ago that they discovered another secret passage in the belly of the mountain. He had obtained a talisman with an opening method, and now he rushed here hastily, without noticing someone lurking behind him.

  Mo Zi Chen said in a low voice: "First capture him and ask him clearly!"

  She held a dagger in her hand and leaped out from behind the rocks with a swift movement.

  Lu Peng was caught off guard and hastily turned around, with a dagger stuck in his shoulder, causing him to cry out in pain.

  Ren Gengxin also rushed out, his martial arts were not inferior to Lu Peng's, but he didn't have a suitable weapon, so he had to fight with bare fists. He held his breath and let out a loud shout, striking both palms on the man's shoulders, instantly crushing half of his shoulder blades.

  He had only learned some superficial magic skills from Luo Yu, and hadn't yet cultivated them to the point of embodying them in his body. At this time, when the two were fighting, they were using ordinary magic techniques. Turning around to see that it was Mo Zi Chen and Ren Geng Xin, he was suddenly shocked, and also didn't think about how Ren Geng Xin had escaped like this. He made a few false moves, then turned around and ran away.

  But the two of them joined forces, their martial arts skills far surpassing his. Mo Zi Chen raised her hand and a long rope flew out, entwining his ankle and pulling him back in an instant. A dagger was pressed against his throat as she shouted: "Dare to resist again, and you'll lose your dog life!"

  Lu Peng's shoulder was injured, and he barely managed to cup his hands together and say: "Spare our lives, sirs! We're from the same village!"

  Ren Gengxin's emotions were complex, after all, only the two of them were left in Taoyuan Village, and for a moment he couldn't make up his mind. He asked, "What happened outside?"

  Lu Peng then spoke out about the enemy's arrival, but when the fight started, he didn't dare to look closely and didn't know what happened on top.

  Mo Zi Chen saw that he didn't ask anything, so he raised his dagger and said: "Alright, since you're willing to confess, I'll give you a quick death!"

  Lu Peng shouted: "Ren Si Ge, for the sake of our childhood friendship, spare my life!"

  Ren Gengxin turned his head in pain, without speaking. Mo Zichen swung up the dagger and cut down, Lu Peng suddenly opened his mouth, a red light flew out from his throat, "Pong" exploded in front of Mo Zichen, instantly filling the sky with red smoke.

  When the smoke dissipated, Mo Zixun only discovered that Lu Peng had already disappeared from his original position. Apparently, Luo Su had transmitted to him a way to escape. However, on the ground was still left the rope used by Mo Zixun to bind people, with a thread of blood on it.

  "He shouldn't have escaped far, let's go after him again!"

  "Never mind! Today I'll let him off, it's his good fortune. If he ever crosses me again, I won't be so lenient. For now, escaping with my life is the priority!"

  Mo Zi Chen frowned and said: "The road is blocked now, I don't know if he can return through his secret path."

  Ren Gengxin said: "We haven't had a chance to ask him about the exit of the secret passage, and we don't know the route inside. What if we get trapped in the belly of the mountain? It's going to be dangerous."

  Two people were in a dilemma at the same time, when Mo Zi Chen's hand symbol suddenly lit up, she looked down and saw that it was the symbol left by Yu Wei, and immediately exclaimed: "My friend should be nearby!"
